This book tries so hard to be Pride and Prejudice. This book tries to be Bridget Jones Diary. This book tries to be Mean Girls. This book has no idea who it is and it shows. Entire passages were ripped straight from Austen with a few minor word changes, but not enough to do anything other than make it feel like terribly bad fan fiction written by a thirteen year old. I actually felt dirty and twitchy reading the passages lifted from P&P. Please, just read Austen and watch Mean Girls. It would be a much better use of your time.
